With the help of BBC Radio Northampton's Hannah McEwan, the Chronicle & Echo, Northampton's local paper, and a national BBC photographer, a small group of students from Campion School managed to produce an array of varied news reports on current events in the school and their local community.

Campion School would like to thank all the staff, parents and the media who supported us on the day - our students were buzzing with enthusiasm from start to finish and learnt a great deal about news and radio production.

Alan Hackett, Campion School's Head of Media Studies, co-ordinated the day and worked hard to ensure the students got the most out of this extraordinary opportunity.
